On Sunday\, Aug 12th TNSM will be bringing in a talented presenter for o
ur New School parents to hear about a new program we are implementing at T
NSM. “Positive Discipline in the Montessori Classroom”.

\n

P
ositive Discipline is based on the work of Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikus
\, both contemporaries of Maria Montessori\, and is designed to teach adul
ts how to create an environment where young people learn to become respons
ible\, respectful and resourceful members of their communities. Based on t
he best selling Positive Discipline books by Dr. Jane Nelsen\, it teaches
important social and life skills in a manner that is deeply respectful and
encouraging for both children and adults.

\n

All teaching s
taff will be participating in two full-day workshops on Aug. 13th and 14th
. Parents are invited (and strongly encouraged) to attend the Parent Educa
tion night on Aug. 12th in the Growing Room from 6:00 to 8:00. We will pro
vide childcare.

\n

Not only will this workshop be a wonderfu
l introduction to how TNSM approaches positive culture building within the
classroom\, but it will help build a bridge between home and school conce
rning conflict resolution techniques that many parents will find helpful.<
